Back to the people of the seerah
The Prophet's ﷺ household
Fāṭimah bint Muḥammad رضي الله عنها ﷺ رضي الله عنها

His youngest daughter, married to ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib رضي الله عنه.
Where they appear
- Going public — and the persecution
Washed the filth from her father's back when Quraysh threw it on him as he prayed at the Kaʿbah.
- Conquest, completion and farewell
Told in his final illness that she would be the first of his family to join him — and she wept, then smiled.
How it ended
Died six months after her father ﷺ — the first of his household to follow him.
